"Mariana, why are there so few children in school today?"
September/October: "Because of the 'grip' (swine flu).
Every Monday: "Because it's market day."
November: "Because it's raining."
December: "Because it's cold."
January/February: "Because it's snowy."
March/April: "Because it's cloudy."
May/June: "Because it's sunny and beautiful outside!"
When I pass a child during school hours:
"What are you up to right now?" - me
"Nothing." - child X
"Why aren't you in school?" - me
"I don't know." - child X
Sigh…

It is funny how children are the same no matter what the country they live in. All of the above are things that apply to my students!~Hope
Yes, yes they are. :D And when education isn't important/relevant to the parent, that attitude gets passed on. Sigh, indeed. :\
